New Deliveries Possibly Impacted by Rail Car Shortage

[5.0ALM]

What on Earth is going on, over there in the US???
It seems like one thing after another!

Is this a new 'thing'?

It typically takes 3 months for delivery down under as it is, without this extra BS. :angry:

Mine's coming by truck. Ask the train monopoly. Too bad they didn't nationalize rail and instead let them do the fuck they please. The American way I guess.

Not a new thing, but yes, that's been a huge issue with the Bronco as well.

All the more reason why Ford and other OEMs need to establish infrastructure that would allow folks to pick up their cars from the Plant.

How do you know? Is it by distance from the factory?

My new 2023 Charger was delivered from loading on train to the dealer in 13 days coming from Canada.

My company car, Chevy Equinox, was built on Feb 26th, 2023 and is still sitting at the plant in Mexico waiting for a truck, then train to the USA

It'll be on the window sticker. Convoy = Truck and Rail = Train.

Asking the US gov to intervene in anything is a joke, especially with the current regime. They are more concerned about anything, but commerce. The concerned parties need to ask the USG to GTFO so things can function.

Good thing Mustangs are usually convoy.

Always some bs though.

My window sticker says rail, sadly. I do have 6/28 as an ETA but who knows.

Does anybody know where to look for the production number of the build? I’d like to know what place my build landed on.
